Case 1 question 2
• The major cell involved in the pathogenesis of
allergic conjunctivitis is:
a. eosinophil
b. neutrophil
c. mast cell
d. basophil
JACI 2000
50 million mast cells in the eye
In healthy eye, most in substantia propria
In allergic state, in more superficial layers
Eye rubbing degranulates mast cells
